Slowly unwrapping the yellow paper charm, Zhang Wenfeng used his spiritual eye to examine it carefully. The rune was looming, like text and graphics, completely different from the runes he was familiar with.
He also used his spiritual sense, which he was not very proficient at yet, to examine the talisman in his palm, and analyzed that the person who drew the talisman should have a cultivation level equivalent to the middle stage of Yuan Qi.
This is the induction after "observation" with spiritual consciousness. Whether it is accurate or not remains to be verified. Experience is accumulated slowly.
The aura left on the talisman was too weird. It was not Yuan Qi, nor demonic aura, nor ghost aura, which aroused his curiosity.
"I have to go to Mire Village tonight."
Zhang Wenfeng folded the yellow paper charm back as it was, wrapped it in a piece of white paper, and put it in his sleeve pocket.
He abided by some rules passed down from ancient times. The incident happened within ten miles of the Taoist temple. Since he knew about it, he had to go and take a look.
The other party is not a powerful character. He went to earn some merit. By the way, what kind of weird thing is that?
I really can't imagine what inhuman thing can draw a spell that harms people?
Unless he can't figure it out, he will go to the reporting branch and ask for help.
The reason why evil ways are evil ways is that their minds are focused on these harmful things that cannot be put on the table. Whether it is cultivation or magic, they are all thinking about opportunistic and shortcuts.
"I know the location of the child's home, and I will go with you. My cultivation has been stable. I have learned basic spells, swordsmanship and Yuan Qi usage these days. I can also use the light body technique you gave me. If multiple people can interact with each other, Take care of.”
Yue Anyan put down the tea cup and expressed his feelings slowly.
After she returned to the mountain, she felt that the master acted calmly like her senior brother, unlike the shy junior brother back then. She didn't know why she had such thoughts.
Zhang Wenfeng did not refuse this time and said: "Okay. I'll draw a few talismans."
He stood up, opened the cabinet, and took out a stack of blank yellow talismans. He currently didn't have the kind of talisman paper with a dozen spiritual energy stones on hand, so he could only try it with the best yellow talisman left by his master.
The foundation of the Taoist temple is not strong, and some of the few family fortunes left behind from the past have also brought disaster to three generations of temple owners.
As a result, in the early stages of his cultivation, he had a hard time starting a business.
Yue Anyan was helping to make cinnabar ink at the desk. The viewer did not avoid her making the talisman, but agreed to her observing.
Zhang Wenfeng silently recited the Heart Jue three times to calm his mind and eliminate distracting thoughts. He used a talisman pen to flatten the blood-red talisman ink and drew the talisman with his pen. The talisman made by Taoist monks still starts with three hooks to show respect to the founder of the Three Qing Dynasties. Some of them have different secret text changes.
The strokes are like a dragon and a snake. Yuan Qi flows with the ink from the end of the pen, turning smoothly and circularly.
The last stroke of the talisman foot was completed, and on the talisman paper dripping with red ink, there was a slight flash of light blue, and the ink instantly penetrated into the paper.
It feels good, the first Aoki Thorn Talisman is ready.
He controlled the infusion of Yuan Qi, fearing that the yellow talisman paper would not be able to bear it, so it was considered an attempt.
Putting the single thorn talisman next to Yue Anyan's hand, Yue Anyan picked up the talisman to check and appreciate it.
The viewer continued to make the talisman without haste, and the next eight became only two. He also grasped the upper limit of the amount of Yuan Qi that the yellow talisman could carry. Due to the material limitations, he could not refine the double thorn talisman, so he made ten in total. A single thorn talisman will stop, and the power may be great or small.
Give three talismans to the senior sister who has a look of eagerness in her eyes as an emergency backup.
He didn't use the yellow talisman he drew to exorcise ghosts and destroy evil spirits last time, and he probably wouldn't need it in the future.
He has the ghost energy that Bai Wuchang gave him. It is the nemesis of ghosts. He has used it twice in Xihe Mountain. It is very good!
After dinner, he said hello to the old lame man and his second senior brother. The two of them meditated for a while and did not do evening classes. Before it was dark, Zhang Wenfeng went down the mountain. Zhang Wenfeng whistled, and the donkey carried the young baby Badgers scurried out of the woods.
Zhang Wenfeng took out the evil spell, put it up to the donkey's nose, and said, "There is an evil person causing trouble in our land. Let's go and meet for a while. You can identify the scent left on it first."
The donkey sniffed and stretched its head towards Yue Anyan, who was watching from the side, indicating that her scent was on it.
Yue Anyan smiled and touched the top door of the spiritual donkey. The temple master wanted to take the donkey over to investigate the case. The temple master had his own reasons, and she would not have any objection.
After collecting the charm, Zhang Wenfeng tied the cloth bag in his hand to the donkey's back. He had prepared some stuff, and asked the donkey via voice transmission: "Are you sure you want to take the badger cub to catch the thief?"
"How can you do that? You don't want to drag your family with you when you are fighting in the world."
The donkey carried the young badger on its back and ran to the source of the spiritual spring. After a while, it came back. It placed the young badger in a rock cave beside the spiritual spring. The entrance of the cave was blocked with large rocks, and it ran towards the official road ahead. Stopped again at the intersection and waited.
There were few pedestrians on the road, the dusk fog was getting thicker, and soon the vast wilderness fell into darkness, and the moon had not yet risen.
"Master Guanzhu, besides learning talismans, which other skill should I choose?"
Yue Anyan suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence between the two.
Zhang Wenfeng pondered for a moment and said: "You have a water element constitution, with a little earth element. You can choose formations or refine alchemy."
He glanced at the senior sister walking on the right and said with a smile: "I suggest you choose the formation path. The formation protection of our Taoist temple can be arranged by you. When your cultivation level improves in the future, you can choose alchemy when you have free time. The second senior brother is a soil He will bring some fire skills with him. In addition to talismans, I suggest him to focus on cultivating weapons. The three of us can complement each other in our skills."
"Okay, I'll choose the formation."
Yue Anyan actually guessed that this would be the case.
During the day today, the viewer gave instructions to Yun Qiuhe to practice painting, and what he said meant something.
She herself is actually more inclined to refine medicine, which is an area she is familiar with.
It is said that Formation Dao is not easy to get started with. It is a cultivation skill that is difficult to learn, difficult to master, time-consuming and energy-consuming.
She might have to suffer a lot, but fortunately Yun Qiuhe agreed to give him some advice.
Since the Taoist Temple needs it, she currently chooses to practice the Taoist Formation. She is not afraid of hardship, but she is worried that her lack of academic skills will delay the important task of protecting the Taoist Temple.
After a while, Yue Anyan seemed to be talking to the viewer, but also seemed to be saying to himself: "Second Senior Brother will take Qingqi Powder tonight and try to break through the realm for the second time. I don't know whether he can succeed?"
There was a hint of worry, but the second senior brother was honest and upright, steady in his actions, and had a chivalrous heart.
She didn't want the second senior brother to drift away from them on the road of spiritual practice.
"Second Senior Brother has great perseverance and resilience. If he has four chances to take the medicine, he should be able to succeed."
"I hope he can break through and succeed. It would have been better if it had been a few years earlier."
"Yes, the chances were greater in the early years. It is better to reach the realm of immortality sooner rather than later, but it also depends on chance."
The two of them hurried on, talking about topics gradually, and exchanged some feelings about spiritual practice and the use of light body techniques. Time passed unconsciously, and when the moon rose in the east, they arrived at the west end of Nitan Village.
There are not many houses with lights on in the village, only a few here and there.
At night, the village seemed very quiet, with the occasional cry of children and faint shouts.
In front of the village, there is a small river several feet wide. Willow trees are planted on both sides of the river. At this season, only the long bare branches of the willow trees are left. There is a stone bridge in the middle of the village connecting to the other side of the river, which also belongs to Nitan Village.
Zhang Wenfeng took out a small old folded light yellow gauze lantern from the cloth bag on the donkey's back, propped it up, lit a candle and put it in. Holding it in his hand, the lantern can illuminate a radius of two to three feet. The color is warm, yellow and soft, so as not to scare others and cause misunderstanding.
The wind lanterns were on, and the dogs barked only a few token times in the farmers' yards passing by.
After walking for a while, Yue Anyan stopped in front of a house with a crooked jujube tree growing opposite the courtyard gate. There were two pictures of door gods posted on the wood door of the courtyard. After being exposed to the wind and rain in spring and summer, the portraits of the door gods had long been faded and damaged. .
Yue Anyan looked at it a few times and said, "This is it."
She was thoughtful and had already found out where the child lived.
Through the gap in the wooden door, you can see the faint light coming through the window lattice in the east bedroom, and the voices of men and women talking. The family has not yet gone to bed.
Zhang Wenfeng stepped forward and knocked on the firewood door. He scanned it with his spiritual eyes. In the west room of the courtyard, there was an inconspicuous black air floating out from the window.
It can be confirmed that the yellow paper charm he has is used to steal souls, and the child has been possessed.
A man's voice came from the yard: "Who is it?"
"Excuse me, Taoist Priest Xianlingguan Zhang. I'm thirsty on my way through the night. I want to ask my host for a bowl of water."
Zhang Wenfeng did not directly say that he came to exorcise evil spirits.
There is a saying in Taoism, "If the teacher does not follow the way, the doctor will not knock on the door." If you are not invited, you will not easily come to help others, which involves some obscure rules.
He made an excuse to ask for water. As a detour, if the host opened the door politely, it would be easier to talk to him later.
If the other party refuses, he and Yue Anyan will leave without saying much, choosing to hide nearby and wait for evil to come.
But that would inevitably lead to mistakes, but no one can blame it.
If you sow melons, you will reap melons, and if you sow beans, you will reap beans. You can only blame yourself for not having enough virtue.
